Private Speed Boat Hurghada — Your Red Sea, Your Way

A private speed boat Hurghada trip is the ultimate way to experience the Red Sea. No crowded boats, no fixed schedules, no compromises. Just you, your group, and one of the most stunning stretches of ocean on the planet — entirely at your own pace.

At Luxury Hurghada Tour, our private speed boat Hurghada experience gives you complete freedom to explore the Red Sea the way it was meant to be explored. Whether you choose a 4-hour half-day adventure or a full-day trip, every moment is tailored entirely to your group. You choose the islands, you choose the pace, and we take care of everything else.

Why Choose a Private Speed Boat in Hurghada?


The Red Sea around Hurghada is home to some of the most spectacular marine life and island scenery in the world. But the best spots are not always easy to reach on a shared tour bus-boat packed with strangers. A private speed boat Hurghada trip gets you there faster, in total comfort, and with the flexibility to stay as long as you like at every stop.

Our speed boats are modern, powerful, and fully equipped with everything you need for a safe and comfortable day on the water. Your captain is a licensed professional with years of experience navigating the Red Sea, and your guide is certified and ready to show you the very best the reef has to offer.

Giftun Island — The Crown Jewel of the Red Sea

Giftun Island is the most famous and most beautiful island near Hurghada. Protected as part of the Giftun National Park, its waters are exceptionally clear and its coral reefs are some of the most colourful and intact on the entire Red Sea coast. Snorkeling here is a world-class experience — the reef is alive with parrotfish, surgeonfish, moray eels, and if you look carefully, graceful sea turtles making their way through the shallows.

Your private speed boat

Hurghada trip can include a stop at both the main Giftun beach and the quieter snorkeling spots on the northern tip of the island — spots that shared tour boats rarely reach.

Abu Mingar Island — Untouched and Unforgettable

Abu Mingar is a quieter, less visited island that rewards those willing to go a little further. The coral here is pristine, the water is calm and incredibly clear, and the sense of complete isolation makes it feel like a discovery all of your own. Our private speed boat means you can reach Abu Mingar directly and efficiently — no unnecessary stops, no wasted time.

Bayoud Island — A Hidden Red Sea Gem

Bayoud Island rounds out the three great island destinations accessible on your private speed boat Hurghada trip. Surrounded by shallow turquoise waters and untouched sandy beaches, Bayoud is the perfect place to anchor, swim, and simply take in the extraordinary beauty of the Red Sea in complete peace and privacy.

Snorkeling on the Red Sea's Best Reefs

All our private speed boat Hurghada trips include a full snorkeling session at one or more reef locations, depending on your chosen itinerary. Your guide will be in the water with you, pointing out the best marine life and keeping you safe at all times. Full snorkeling equipment — mask, fins, and life jacket — is provided for every guest.

The reefs around Giftun Island and Abu Mingar are home to hundreds of species of tropical fish, stunning coral formations, and a thriving underwater ecosystem that surprises even experienced snorkelers. First-timers are always amazed.

Half Day or Full Day — You Choose

We offer two options for your private speed boat Hurghada adventure:

Half Day (4 hours) — Perfect for guests with limited time or young children. Depart in the morning, visit one or two island stops, enjoy a snorkeling session, and return to the marina refreshed and ready for the rest of your day.

Full Day (8 hours) — The complete Red Sea experience. Visit multiple islands, enjoy two full snorkeling sessions, have time to relax on the beach, and return in the late afternoon with memories that will last a lifetime.
